i think i had heard the xlr is based on the corvette chasis, not shure if its C5 or C6. If this is the case then maybe the motor and trans mounts would be the same? Would be a bad *** swap. You could always supercharge the northstar....

2004 probably assembled in 2003 = c5 chassis.

05+ XLR = c6 chassis. Not that they are that different....
